You Put What In There?!

Fish oil. Yup, I did. I put it in my frozen treats for the boys and they loved it.

Sea-licious Maple Fish oil is so tasty that they’ll pull the bottle out of the fridge themselves and remind me to give it to them.

Let’s be clear, I don’t get into great detail of the specific ingredients inside. They have no idea that there’s anchovy, mackeral, and sardine body oil mixed into these Maple Vanilla Frozen Cups. They just care that it tastes good. And I care that they eat it and get the health benefits.

I do tell them that it will make them smarter and make them see better because fish oil is crucial for growing brains and healthy eyes.

I wanted to get creative with these frozen treats with Halloween around the corner. With the scary amount of food colouring, unhealthy fat, and additives in most Halloween candy, I always try to entice the kids with my treats to detour them from their loot.

Okay the taste is obviously delicious because I can use it in this dessert, but there’s so much more to love about this company and this fish oil.

Sea-licious is a Canadian company created by rock-star Dietician and mom of three, Karlene Karst. She developed it from a place of love and the desire to nourish her family. It is such a great product that it has trickled into a huge amount of Canadian homes and bellies.

The quality of this product is exceptional. It has a bright red colour (not food colouring) as a result of the ASTA-GUARD™ (algae astaxanthin), which is one of the most powerful antioxidants available today. It is over 130 times more potent than vitamin C and gives Sea-licious its unique colour. ASTA-GUARD™ helps to protect our bodies’ cells from toxic damage and free radicals while preserving and protecting Sea-licious from light, air and heat.

And there’s more…

Each serving has 1,000 mg of Vitamin D. Winter is just around the corner (insert sad face), and Vitamin D is truly important to maintain good health.

It is also sweetened with monk fruit, is non-GMO, gluten-free, contains no shellfish and is 5-star IFOS tested and certified for purity, potency and freshness.

In addition to our fave maple flavour (how Canadian!) they have a wide variety of other products for consumers young to old. Our top faves are the pregnancy formula and the kids cotton candy combination. You can check out other awesome Sea-Licicious products here.

Getting back to my Maple Vanilla Frozen Bites, these treats are not just for your kids. You should eat them too! Omega-3 fats found in fish oil provide glowing skin, shinier hair and stronger nails better than any topical product. It’s beauty from the inside out.

Essential fats are crucial for a healthy heart and brain from age 0 to 100. It’s challenging for many to get these fats in their diet, so supplementation is a good option. The result is better concentration, calmer moods, sharper memory, lower cholesterol, lower blood pressure and decreased inflammation overall.

Here’s the recipe so you can make a batch and see for yourself!
